Daily Divine Reflections: 3 Shlokas from the Bhagavad Gita - Day 1
The Bhagavad Gita is a sacred Hindu scripture that consists of 18 chapters and contains profound teachings on life, duty, and spirituality. Shlokas are verses in Sanskrit that convey the essence of these teachings. Here are five shlokas from the Bhagavad Gita along with their meanings: कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन । मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भुर्मा ते संगोऽस्त्वकर्मणि ॥ You have the right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty. This shloka emphasises the importance of performing one's duty without attachment to the outcome. It teaches that individuals should focus on their responsibilities and actions without seeking personal gains. Detachment from the results leads to a state of selflessness and purity of action. यद यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत | अभ्यथनमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं श्रीजाम्यहम् || परित्राणाय साधुनांग विनाश
